We now need

A left back, another central midfielder and a striker and it has been a perfect window.

 

If £10 million was really made available to JK plus whatever we get for Shay , then we should have enough to get all three hopefully.

Need another centre-mid more than we need a striker. Can't see us getting another forward when we've already got eight of them on the books. Yes - eight. And that's not even counting Chuck N... Nile Ranger in the reserves.

 

Owen, Martins, Viduka, Shola, Smith, Carroll, Lovenkrands, Xisco. Can't for a minute see us going for another striker.

Aye, it wasn't long ago we were debating whether or not we had the best selection of strikers in the Premiership. Since then we've added to them. We need to build a team that can actually supply them.

hows that. we now have a central midfielder who'll look to support the forwards.....we haven't had that for quite some time.

 

He's coming here on the back of two poor seasons, he could go either way.

We have Nolan and Taylor (medical aside) tied up already.

 

£6m for Zoggy, £8m+ for Given - if we make good use of this money over the weekend on a decent striker and a quality central midfielder, I'll be alot more positive than I was last week.

Striker to play with Martins, right-winger to replace any of Milner/Solano/Dyer, replacement for Butt, left-back, centre-half to challenge Colo and Bassong.

 

And a keeper too, if Given leaves.

 

there's other positions we needed filling too, for instance a back-up RB, which would be Taylor, a somewhat attacking midfielder which would be Nolan and a pacy striker to fill in for Martins, which would be Lovenkrands. Sadly they're all pretty average, but will do a job til the end of the season, hopefully.

Absolutely. Injuries have been a twat just recently however. With a bit of luck though, in a couple weeks' time the only striker on the treatment table will be Owen (Viduka? Who knows? Who cares?). There'll be no excuse from that point on, really. If it means Shola and Martins upfront until the end of the season, that - without doubt - is a good enough frontline to keep us up. If Kinnear can't manage it then it's down to him.

 

I won't be fussed if we don't get a striker this window, tbh. Another centre-mid or a right-winger, please. :thup:

We still need another striker. We cannot allow ourselves to have to choose between Ameobi, Xisco and Carroll while Martins and Owen are out injured and Viduka is a waste of space.

IMO, a new right winger will only just push Jonas more out of the team.

 

Duff is a guaranteed starter on the left wing if fit. He shouldn't be a guaranteed starter in the U12s but Kinnear's opinion unfortunately differs.

People ought to cool their feelings about us getting a striker tbh - i really, really can't see us getting one. There's Smith coming back aswell and even though we know all about him, Kinnear hasn't even seen him yet. He'll probably like him n'all.

Jonas should be on the left wing, it's where he's had his best games.

I agree. I don't think JK does though.

We need a spark up front, someone capable of going on a scoring streak who even when the team is playing shite can pop up with a goal. None of our strikers are capable of that. Well Owen is but he's out injured and badly off form anyway, a player clearly going through the motions.

Amen brother.

 

Shola is a back up. Carroll has been decent but should really only be playing once in a while for development. Xisco clearly hasn't worked out. Viduka should never ever wear the shirt again, he's an embarrassment. Owen might literally disintegrate into a flaky powder the next time he steps on a pitch. Smith is ... Smith.

 

We definitely need another goalscorer from somewhere.

I wouldn't trust Martins' fitness to hold out for the remainder of the season either hence my plea for another striker. I've been hearing some disappointing things (if true) about him on that front and his whole appetite for playing for Newcastle at the minute, basically he too wants away.
